We measure the
measurement tools.
So you don't have to.
Mark Thomas and Bradley Miller each put in more than twenty years on Mid-South roofs and ran a roofing company together through more hail seasons than they care to count. Now they score every roof measurement tool a contractor actually buys, on what it costs per job, how fast you can bid, and whether it drops into Xactimate® for the insurance side.
Twenty-plus years on the ladder, most of them running the insurance side of our company: hail claims, wind claims, adjusters, supplements. I care about one thing: does the report open in Xactimate® and does the number hold up when the carrier goes line by line. Everything else is a demo.
Twenty-plus years, mostly retail. I am the guy at the kitchen table who wants the fastest bid in the room, and I am not paying a subscription for a tool I use twice in a slow month. If it is not saving me a trip up the ladder or closing a job faster, why am I paying.

How two roofers score a measurement tool
Same five factors, same weights, every tool. Weighted for a roofing shop that does retail and insurance work, not for a claims desk. Every score traces to a published price, a published turnaround, or a published policy, with a date on it.
Cost per job, no strings
What one report actually costs a shop once you count the plan, the minimum, and the add-on. Flat per-report pricing scores highest.
Insurance-side readiness
Does it hand you an ESX that opens in Xactimate® and a PDF for the claim file? Half of most roofing shops is insurance work. This is that half.
Speed to bid
Order to report in your hand, standard tier, no rush fee. Same-day and under-an-hour guarantees score highest.
DIY vs done-for-you
Do you order by address and get a finished report, or do you climb, capture, and draw it yourself? Done-for-you scores highest for a busy crew.
Corrections and support
What the revision policy says, in writing, and whether a person answers. Free revisions in writing score highest.
